White Oak Construction

I appreciated the opportunity to work with White Oak Construction and gained valuable experience in sales, customer interactions, and the construction industry. The company provides opportunities to build relationships with homeowners and develop skills in estimating, presenting solutions, and managing the sales process.

That being said, the commission structure and communication around compensation were areas that I found challenging. Clearer expectations, more transparency around pay, and stronger communication between honest and integrity leadership and sales representatives would greatly improve the employee experience.

The construction industry can be rewarding, but success depends heavily on having consistent support, accurate processes, and trust between the company and its employees. I hope the company continues to improve these areas as it grows.

Every day you went in a company vehicle of about 3-4 people not including yourself and went to various cities to do door to door advertising . Learned quiet a bit from them. Like how to be aggressive, how to tell how old certain products on home may be, what certain products of the home are made with, how to transition well in a conversation. The workplace was always different and it wasn't a day to day thing, more like hour to hour. The hardest part of the job was dealing with management if you didn't hit your minimum requirements. Depending on their mood determined how bad you were going to be looked down at. The most enjoyable part of the job was travelling, seeing other cities and trying different restaurants out.

It's a reasonable to make over low 6 figures annually. This company sells superior product to competition and provides an unmatched warranty in home improvements. Leads are inside 105 mile radius territory of Indianapolis. Management  is one individual over 3 locations and is a horrible person and creates an incredibly toxic work environment. The owner looks the other way due to said management regularly producing sales. Average appointment times are noon and 6pm. Visits are same day decisions and last around 3 and a half hours. No company vehicle, gas reimbursement, or car insurance. Health insurance is terrible. Best part of the job is the ability to make great money but consider if it is worth your dignity

I made good money at white oak. However, along with that comes a lot of expenses. Using your own car, paying for your gas, hours away from home in small towns. Insurance is awful, you can't trust your coworkers. The management and ownership is manipulative of their staff, really only concerned with their own pockets. I think if you are a young single male, you could spend a year or 2 working here and safe up money. But its a very taxing on your work life balance. 

i worked here for 6 years, i loved my job it created many opportunities for me. during the years i worked there i learned many things about sales and marketing. i started my day cold calling potential costumers, setting my own appointments, and running my own leads. i would demostrate the products give a price and than go in for a same day close. than after words write up a contract and also credit applications. than every night i would have to turn in a sales report on everything that i had done that day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great boss great work scotty definitely values his employees 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No set schedule never knowing when ya would.have a day off being on call 24/7 but it was what I signed up.for so it was self inflicted 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great culture great work environment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Forfillin  usually very busy long hours but great pay

White Oak Construction is a wonderful company to work for!  The atmosphere is that of a large family.  Great team work and cohesiveness among the team members and departments.  I always feel that I am part of something bigger and that my input has value.  I look forward to going to work; I enjoy the people I work with, and the business we are a part of.

If you have strong self motivation and consider yourself a social person this is the job for you. While it can be lacking in variety there is always a way to mix it up and find satisfaction in the work. You work in all elements so it can be rough in the summer and winter, but the door to door aspect does allow for lots of movement and activity which can help keep you in shape. The canvass managers are excellent making each day  enjoyable.

Terrible management who refuses to relay problems directly to staff members Far more from managers with absolutely no pay increase. When I worked here The team manager had a secret relationship with a coworker and would Drop us off to do our job while the manager and the female stayed had coitus

Working here was fun when I was walking around cities I had not seen before, but the job was based around hitting a performance standard that based on false statistics. It was intolerable everytime a weekly meeting rolled around and you were asked why you maybe did poorly after hitting a town with a population of 10 people and 20 houses that were abandoned.
